monitor directory size?

[HP Geeza]

Appologies for the numerous emails!!

I noticed that nsclient++ has a checkDisk.dll which you can use to check the 
size of one of more files or directories.  So this sounds like what i need 
to use.....but i still dont know how to check this from the nagios server - 
is there another plugin that i need to run on the nagios server....what to 
have in the config files???
